It feels like forever since I have really posted about some actual projects. Its not that I am being lazy, quite the opposite, I am SOOOO busy!
Here is this month's project for Embroidery Club at Bob's Sewing.
Next month we will be doing a Christmas stocking (which I have finished and hung in the store and forgot to take a picture of...)
I have a quilt on the long arm for practicing my free motion. I am about 2/3rds of the way done with it and then back to some customer quilts.
I have a bunch of quilts to bind which I am planning on spending some time on tomorrow. Slow stitch Sunday, you know.
I have been setting some time each day to teach myself to knit and crochet. The knitting is coming very slowly but I am doing it.
Here is my crochet...
It is an afghan that I am making for myself. My big 4-0 is coming up in about 3 weeks and I am aiming to have this done for a birthday present to myself. It is simply a double crochet in every stitch, all the way across. I chained 215 and went to town on it. For some reason (knock on wood) it is coming together better than any crochet project I have ever started so perhaps their really is hope for a true finish. It is a great deal wider than I thought it looked just as a chain...
I did manage to finish one ruffle scarf a few days ago and have a bunch of packages of yarn to make many more, thinking they might be good Christmas gifts...
Today I managed to go to work for a few hours, embroider another stocking which will have to be sewn together now, did some actual PIECING of four patches, cooked a real dinner- like with a recipe and everything, baked some pumpkin muffins, and watched World War Z with my men. Feels great to actually be at home, accomplishing some things on the weekend. looking forward to another productive day tomorrow!
Happy stitching!
